TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI) <4A9>

13A-178

• When the throttle valve control servo relay turns

ON, battery voltage is supplied by the throttle
valve control servo relay (terminal No. 4) to the
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU <CVT>
(terminal No. 78).

FUNCTION

• When the ignition switch ON signal is input into

the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU
<CVT>, the engine-ECU <M/T> or
engine-CVT-ECU <CVT> turns ON the Throttle
valve control servo.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

• After engine starts <M/T>

• Ignition switch is in "ON" position <CVT>.

Judgement Criteria

• Throttle valve control servo supply voltage is 6.0

V or less <M/T>.

• Battery voltage is 8.3 V or more <CVT>.

• The power line voltage of the electronic controlled

throttle system is 6.0 V or less for 0.35 second
<CVT>.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed throttle valve return spring

• Open/short circuit in throttle valve control servo

circuit or loose connector contact.

• Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU

<CVT>

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Connector check: B-121 throttle valve
control servo relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 2. Check throttle valve control servo relay
itself.

• Check throttle valve control servo relay (Refer to

P.13A-361

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Replace the throttle valve control servo
relay.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at B-121
throttle valve control servo relay connector.

• Remove relay, and measure at relay box side.

• Voltage between terminal No. 3 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Check intermediate connector B-108, and

repair if necessary. if intermediate connector
is normal, Check and repair harness
between B-121 (terminal No. 3) throttle
valve control servo relay connector and
battery.

• Check power supply line for

open/short circuit.

Go to Step 6 .

NO :

Go to Step 5 .

STEP 5. Connector check: B-106 engine control
relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check and repair harness between B-106

(terminal No. 4) engine control relay
connector and B-121 (terminal No. 1)
throttle valve control servo relay connector.

• Check power supply line for

open/short circuit.

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Perform voltage measurement at A-08
engine-ECU connector or engine-CVT-ECU
connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: ON

• Voltage between terminal No. 123 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7 .

NO :

Check intermediate connector B-110, and

repair if necessary. If intermediate
connector is normal, check and repair
harness between B-121 (terminal No. 2)
throttle valve control servo relay connector
and A-08 (terminal No. 123) engine-ECU
connector or engine-CVT-ECU connector.

• Check earthing line for open/short

circuit.

STEP 7. Perform voltage measurement at A-08
engine-ECU connector or engine-CVT-ECU
connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: ON

• Voltage between terminal No. 78 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 10 .

NO :

Go to Step 8 .
